  3. The Mental Health Inventory • Designed as a measure general psychological distress and well-being for the general population. • Measure includes both • positive aspects of well-being (such as cheerfulness, interest in and enjoyment of life) • negative aspects of mental health (eg, anxiety and depression). • Used in studies to assess the mental health of consumers with a variety of disorders including HIV, ovarian cancer, heart disease and mental health outcomes.

  4. The Mental Health Inventory (MHI) • Self Rated Questionnaire • 38 items which describe symptoms or states of mind • Items rated in terms of frequency or intensity of symptoms or states of mind over the past month. • All of the 38 MHI items, except two, are scored on a six- point scale (range 1- 6) • Items 9 and 28 are the exception, each scored on a five- point scale (range 1- 5)

  5. MHI example item structure

  6. General Positive Affect Emotional Ties Life Satisfaction Anxiety Depression Loss of Behavioural /Emotional Control Interpretation of Scores All subscales are scored so higher scores indicate more of the construct named by the subscale label Higher scores on these subscales indicate positive states of mental health Higher scores on these subscales indicate negative states of mental health Global MHI score - high scores = greater psychological well being and relatively less psychological distress

  7. The Mental Health Inventory (MHI) • The MHI may be aggregated into 3 types of summary scores: • Six subscales – Anxiety, Depression, Loss of Behavioural/Emotional Control, General Positive Affect, Emotional Ties and Life Satisfaction • Two global scales - Psychological Distress and Psychological Well-being;and • A global Mental Health Index score

  8. Consumer Self Report Measure: When not to offer • The consumer is too unwell or distressed to complete the measure • Psychotic or mood disturbance prevents the consumer from understanding the measure or alternatively, completing the measure would increase their level of distress • The consumer is unable to understand the measure • As a result of an organic mental disorder or a developmental disability to consumer • Cultural or language issues make the self-report measure inappropriate

  9. Offering the measure • Why is it important to complete a consumer self rated measure? • What happens if I refuse to complete the measure, will it effect my treatment? • Who is going to use the information? • What is the information going to be used for? • Assure the consumer of privacy and confidentiality
